My Chemical History Lesson

My Chemical Romance. The Band, The Ring Leaders. The Legend.

16th February 2002: Garfield, New Jersey.

My Chemical Romance's first ever performance. As one could imagine, fear and anxiety ate the members alive. Gerard and Mikey sat inside a beat-up van outside of Garfield Legion Hall - waiting, wishing; paralyzed with fear. Inside, however, waited Ray and Matt nervously. With every thought mutually shared by the Way brothers of what they are going to attempt tonight, was another wave of anxiety and anguish that washed over them like a tsunami.
